      About String Information
    </h1>
    <p>
      String information is stored in Name/Value pairs. A different set of
      string information can exist for each &quot;translation&quot; in the
      version information resource. <em>Version Information Spy</em> displays
      all the string names and values defined in each translation.
    </p>
